5/5 – A perfect day with an amazing guide! - We did the private tour of Chapala and Ajijic and absolutely loved it. The scenery was stunning, the towns were full of charm, and the whole day flowed effortlessly thanks to our guide, Diego. From the moment we met, he was friendly, welcoming, and full of knowledge. The day kicked off with a delicious birria breakfast and just kept getting better — local snacks by the lake, colorful markets, and a tasty lunch at a spot only a local would know. Diego was easy to chat with, answered every question we threw at him, and really made us feel like we were getting the insider’s experience. Highly recommend this tour if you want a relaxed, fun, and authentic day exploring this beautiful part of Mexico. Gracias Diego — you’re a legend!

5 Star Lake Chapala Day Trip! - This is my third trip to Guadalajara and each time I’ve hired Diego to provide me with amazing experiences, insights and tastes of this amazing part of Mexico. Our recent day trip to Ajijic & Chapala was another 5-star experience. We appreciated the pickup at our AirBNB, the authentic birria tacos breakfast stop, the cultural aspects of these towns and of course the history and beauty of the lake. Diego always maintains the perfect pace and keeps us engaged with his knowledge and great energy!

Educational and relaxed - Loved this trip. Area was both quaint and modern. Diego was a caring and knowledgeable host. His expertise in the history and current day politics of the area enhanced our experience. The balance of escorted tour and free time made far a most enjoyable day.

Nice day trip - We had fun exploring Chapala and Ajijic. Diego picked us up on time for our short drive. Walking along the malecon gave us a great view of the lake and its surroundings. The cobblestone lanes, narrow roads and colorful homes gave the area an old town feel. We had a few snacks and a nice lunch and picked up some local crafts. Diego was super attentive and knowledgeable of Guadalajara and the areas around it. We would hire Diego again to take us on a different tour.
